Study Notes
Online Class Rules
- Check surroundings and choose a study space
- Use the "raise hand" button to answer questions
- Turn on mic when speaking and turn off when others are speaking
- Respect and encourage each other
- Be honest
Motivation - Spot the Difference
- Engage with groupmates in group chats
- Examine pictures and identify 3 differences
- First group to finish searching will shout "Paro-paro g"
- One representative will share the differences found
Biodiversity and the Healthy Society
- Biodiversity decline is significant globally, with a 60% decrease in vertebrates since the 1970s
- Projected to decline by 67% by 2020 due to human causes
- Biodiversity refers to the vast array of life forms on Earth, including organisms and their relationships within ecosystems
- Human dependence on biodiversity is evident in daily necessities like clean water, food, and transportation fuel
Threats to Biodiversity
- Habitat loss and destruction
- Alterations in ecosystem composition
- Over-exploitation
- Pollution and contamination
- Global climate change
Consequences of Biodiversity Loss
- Intact ecosystems function best when organisms are specialized to function in that ecosystem
- Loss of biodiversity has many consequences, both understood and unknown
- Changes in the ecosystem affect livelihood, income, and may cause political conflict
Nutritional Impact of Biodiversity
- Biodiversity is a major factor in sustainable food production for human beings
- Nutrition and biodiversity are linked at many levels, including the ecosystem and food production as an ecosystem service
Health, Biology, and Biodiversity
- All living organisms are dependent on their environment to live and reproduce
- Basic needs of living organisms, such as air, water, food, and habitat, are provided by the environment
- Advances in agriculture, sanitation, water treatment, and hygiene have had a greater impact on human health than medical technology
Environment-Related Illnesses
- Adverse environmental effects, such as food production and healthcare facilities, can have a serious impact on human health
- Climate change could deteriorate farming systems and reduce nutrients in some foods
- Lower socioeconomic individuals are more exposed to hazardous environmental conditions
- Communities should make prudent decisions about housing, workplaces, and worker safety to reduce societal damage
